More than providing an automated response to an inquiry, AutoResponders can be your own automated sales force working online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Used properly, AutoResponders can automate the process of building your lists, following up with your prospects, and helping you close more sales.
Let's look at how someone might use AutoResponders to help build a list of targeted prospects and turn those prospects into paying customers.
The first step is to create 5 to 7 messages about your offer and add them to your AutoResponder Campaign.
These messages can be set to go out every 2 days.. With 7 messages, your prospects would receive your sales messages over a 2 week period.
Here is a simple guideline you can use to create your own follow-up letters:
Message 1: Sent Out Immediately.
In this message you would thank them for requesting your information. Give them a brief history about yourself to build some credibility. They need to know you are qualified to share the information with them. Then give them an overview of the information you are offering.
Be sure to include a link to your web site so they can get further details, place an order, or contact you for more information.
It's also a good idea to include your name and email address. Include a phone number if you want prospects to call you.
Message 2: Sent Out 2 Days Later.
In this message, you may want to give them a brief reminder of what you covered in your first message and focus on the benefits of your offer. What's in it for them? How is your product, service, or opportunity different from others? Use this message to let them know.
And be sure to invite them to your web site, include the link to your site, and include your name and email address so they can contact you.
Message 3: Sent Out 2 Days Later.
This might be a good place to include some testimonials from your company or a little more of your own personal story. If you are new and haven't quite created your own story yet, share success stories and testimonials from others that have used your products or services. Give an overview of how people are using your product or service. If you are promoting an affiliate plan, explain how others are building their income with your plan.
And, as always, be sure to invite them to your web site. Include the URL and include your name and email address so prospects can contact you.
Message 4: Sent Out 2 Days Later.
In this message, pick one feature in particular to focus on. Maybe it's about how your offer can help them save money, be more productive, lose weight, make money, etc...
Remind them that you are available to answer questions and provide support.
And, as always, be sure to invite them to your web site. Include the URL and include your name and email address so prospects can contact you.
Message 5: Sent Out 2 Days Later.
Use this message to be a little more personal. Let your prospects know that you are available to help them in any way you can. This message could be used to simply thank them again for requesting your information and assuring them that you are a real human being and interested in helping them succeed.
And, as always, be sure to invite them to your web site. Include the URL and include your name and email address so prospects can contact you.
Message 6: Sent Out 2 Days Later.
Use this message to stress another set of features from your offer. Share a few more testimonials from others or from your own experiences with your product, service, or opportunity.
Briefly review some of the details you have shared from previous letters.
And, as always, be sure to invite them to your web site. Include the URL and include your name and email address so prospects can contact you.
Message 7: Sent Out 2 Days Later.
This message can be used to ask for some feedback from your prospects. Tell them you have enjoyed sending the information and you hope it was helpful to them. Ask them if they have any concerns or what might be preventing them from making the decision to purchase from you or join with you.
Sometimes, you will get some good feedback from folks. They may share some concerns they have or tell you why they feel your offer may not be for them at this time.
Thank them for agreeing to receive your information and let them know you are still available to answer any questions they may have.
And, as always, be sure to invite them to your web site. Include the URL and include your name and email address so prospects can contact you.
